Sony late last month launched a new PS3 firmware 3.21 update the PS3 firmware longer support its own operating system installed, which makes the players had to abandon the Linux operating system.
However, the estimates did not expect Sony to upgrade the firmware has also violated the law, and may pay compensation for it.
NeoGAF Forum from a famous game player Iapetus Britain lodged a complaint with Amazon, because the PS3 is not as described previously announced support for third-party operating system, he asked Amazon to pay him compensation.
The EU “Directive No. 1999/44/EC” regulations, the seller must clarify for the consumer uses the product of all features and content described by the seller and the product must be consistent. Therefore, the PS3 does not support not the system of others, a violation of the law.
Amazon for sending e-mail to the players they will pay £ 84 which a refund. £ 84 130 U.S. dollars, equivalent to three years ago to buy the player to spend 20% of the PS3. Thus, the United Kingdom used to buy and Iapetus, as the PS3 users have access to the restitution of the Amazon.
Amazon is estimated to Sony in the discussion of the argument, and perhaps rethink the Sony PS3 event will help the system problems of others.
